Advanced features for electric vehicle optimization
Our solutions provide the deep access and analytical power required for cutting-edge electric vehicle development:
The battery defines the most crucial vehicle parameters (range, power, weight) of an EV and is the most expensive component. During vehicle operation, the battery Management System (BMS) monitors each cell and controls the operation of the battery.
Utilize specialized instruments in INCA and MDA to visualize individual battery cell voltages, identify outliers, and optimize balancing strategies for extended battery life and usable capacity.
Energy storage capability of EV batteries is limited and very costly. One of the main development goals is maximizing the range of the vehicle. Thus, efficiency is the main driver in the vehicle development. Acquire voltage and current applied to the electric motor with specialized measurement devices from Dewesoft, Hioki or Yokogawa and utilize sophisticated instruments and calculations in MDA for detailed analysis and efficiency optimization.
Leverage the specialized calculation library which addresses unique EV development challenges with pre-built functions that encapsulate deep automotive engineering expertise.
Support of arrays makes the handling of multi signal sources like BMS simple and efficient.
Acquire signals from the thermal system from various ECU & sensors, and utilize
specific calculations in MDA for detailed analysis of flow and accumulation of thermal energy.
Access all vehicle control systems with support for up to 100,000+ measurement labels and microsecond-precision timing for real-time, microcontroller-independent data acquisition and holistic development workflows.
